Proper alignment from Damphousse, Coryell set up Texas State for on-field success
Texas State president Kelly Damphousse was hired, in part, to fix football. He's on his way to doing that with help from Don Coryell, GJ Kinne.
SAN MARCOS – Texas State president Dr. Kelly Damphousse has two images saved on his iPhone that remind him how far the Bobcat football program has come in the two seasons he’s been on campus, and to motivate him to finish the job. One of those images is a graphic with every FBS program to never reach a bowl game. The other is a graphic of all the FBS teams to never win a bowl game.
Texas State joined the FBS ranks in 2012 as members of the WAC. The program only finished one season with a winning record – 2014 under Dennis Franchione. And that team wasn’t invited to a bowl. 2014 was also the last time the program won more than four games. Everett Withers went 7-28 in three seasons in charge from 2016-2018. Jake Spavital finished his tenure 13-35.
